As an old-timer, I advise against using Potlatch (the flash editor you're using in the web page) and switch to JOSM. It will *always* display the coordinates. > From local knowledge and from standing by POI's taking the GPS reading, > when I use the 'L' key to navigate the cursor over my reading, the result > in some cases is way off, sometimes by 25 metres or so.

That may be a reason for the misalignments. Else, please try out JOSM and compare the coordinates. If they differ, congratulations, you've just found a bug in the OSM software :-) Please go to talk-dev and yell the Potlatch developers to fix it Cheers, -- ---------------------------------- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[email protected]> MSN:[email protected] Jabber:[email protected] ; [email protected]
